One of my greatest teachers in this lifetime, and I suspect many more has been the Buddha. I wish I had known him when he walked this earth or at least got a glimpse of him in a crowd.

Many years ago I woke up from a dream where I met a slightly Asian looking man dressed in robes. I kept peering at his face in the dream, saying to myself how familiar he looked. When I did wake up, I realised I had seen the Buddha in my dream. Needless to say my whole day was made:)

There are a number of Tibetan Buddhist mantras I listen to and would love to share the one which touches me the most.

If that
flight to Delhi had not been delayed in 1998 I would never have picked
up my first book by Deepak Chopra entitled “The Path to Love”. He
simplified and expressed the wisdom of the Ancient sages in a way that
was so engaging and empowering. I understood everything he said. And for
the next few hours till my flight I didn’t realise I was on board to a
new destination altogether. A destination inside myself.

Two years later in 2000 I was at the airport again, this time in a queue to board a flight to Singapore. There was a sudden shift of energy when a middle aged man strode past me purposefully, dressed in grey with the most intent expression. It was Deepak Chopra boarding the same flight as I was. His energy was electric and had the air of a man compelled to teach as many people about themselves as he possibly could. One of his tools his gratitude. And I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to this amazing man. Thank you 🙂 May you remain blessed:)
